The other side of the coin is that the V6+ is now going to be in competition with the cheap Nook and Kindle in some parts of the world and USA.

Dear Dave_S:
Yes, your points are right. IF we had been making money on the old EZ Reader 6 inch in the first place, we could clear them out by selling that quickly at a steep price reduction. Reality is we made NOTHING on the EZ Reader Basic and we are not prepared to lose more. Yes, I would love to blow them out. But we cannot do that.
Clearly, we are in a pickle. To our good, we are proceeding with the "PLUS". To our chagrin, we will lose money on it also.
What we will have, shortly, is the most innovative and advanced eBook Store ever created. That is where we can compete and do well. Expect big changes soon enough at
www.EZread.com!!
